It was excellent opportunity to meet people from other organisations, network and enjoy the vibrant athmosphere.
MSM had the support of Oxfam to participate in this event. 
Oxfam has been working to end poverty in the UK since 1996. We believe it is unacceptable that in a relatively wealthy country more than 13 million people still live in poverty. That’s one in five without enough to live on, discriminated against and stereotyped, forgotten by the government, and given far fewer opportunities than the rest.
Oxfam's work on tackling poverty in the UK aims to develop projects with people living in poverty to improve their lives and show how things can change. We also raise public and politicians' awareness of poverty and its causes, and lobby to bring about change.
